We know that changes in skin support and facial volume are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance of these changes.

Our clinic can provide consultations about skin laxity and volume. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss cosmetic options that may be appropriate for you.

Any change in appearance, and how noticeable it is, varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

Skin Laxity & Volume

What may be discussed in consultation

For suitable individuals, consultation may address concerns relating to:

  • the appearance of skin support in facial or neck areas

  • the appearance of facial contours

  • the appearance of cheeks, jawline or neck

  • the appearance of facial volume changes

These concerns are assessed during consultation to determine whether any cosmetic procedures may be appropriate.

How treatment planning works

After reviewing your medical history and examining the face and neck, your practitioner may discuss non-surgical cosmetic options that could be considered.

Examples of options that may be discussed include:

  • energy-based procedures such as ultrasound- or radiofrequency-based devices, where appropriate

  • skin-directed procedures that may be included in a cosmetic treatment plan

  • thread procedures for selected individuals, where clinically appropriate after discussion of risks and alternatives

  • skincare and sun-protection advice relevant to ongoing skin care

Treatment planning is determined after consultation and clinical assessment.

Not all procedures will be suitable for every person. In some cases, your practitioner may recommend an alternative approach, no procedure, or referral to another health professional.

Safety, Risks and Aftercare

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.

Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:

  • review your medical history, medications and relevant health information

  • examine the treatment area

  • explain the proposed procedure, limitations and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed

  • discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications

Risks associated with procedures may include:

  • redness or swelling

  • dryness or peeling

  • skin sensitivity or irritation

  • pigmentation changes

  • infection or delayed healing

  • temporary muscle weakness

  • uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes

Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.

Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.

  • Your practitioner will assess your medical history, facial structure and skin quality, then discuss non-surgical options that may address the visible appearance of support and definition (for example, energy-based treatments, collagen-supporting procedures, threads in selected cases, and home-care advice). Not every option is suitable for every person.

  • The timing and degree of visible change vary between individuals and cannot be promised in advance.

  • Comfort levels depend on the treatment used and the individual. Your practitioner will explain expected sensations and available comfort measures before you decide whether to proceed.

  • The number of sessions varies according to the treatment modality, your starting point and your goals. Some approaches involve a short series with reviews; others may require periodic maintenance. Your practitioner will outline an individual plan, but specific outcomes or a fixed course cannot be guaranteed.

  • For some individuals, collagen-stimulating threads (such as PDO mono threads) may be considered as part of a broader approach, if your practitioner believes they are suitable after assessment. Threads are not appropriate for everyone and carry specific risks that will be discussed with you before treatment.

  • Perceptions of “natural” vary, and no particular aesthetic outcome can be guaranteed. Your practitioner will discuss what is realistic in your situation so you can make an informed decision.
